I liked the concept of the book. Especially in current times. Thus is a book with plenty of practical advice. It is based mainly on a question -answer format and is well structured. The book answers the questions on different areas of money. The only thing is it is mainly money focused but still a lot of good information.

I tried reading What To Do With Your Money When Crisis Hits, but it didn't grab me. I don't know if it was the mood I was in or the style. I'll have to try another time since I do think it has potential.

This is a different kind of personal finance book. It’s not for setting up your first budget, or how to invest in the stock market, etc. This is for when the S hits the fan and you’re trying to bail water out of your sinking ship with a teacup. There are a wide range of topics covered, and as such this is a fairly basic book; even the author states that these subjects are not covered in depth, and if you want broader coverage of the topics to do additional research. Some of the items covered are how to prioritize what to pay after a job loss, how to handle family money problems (such as family asking for loans or children needing to move home), the gig economy, and how to watch out for the bajillions of scams that are out there right now. I think the book is well written and presented in a no-nonsense way that should appeal to a wide range of readers.

Thank you to NetGalley & Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for this advanced reader copy. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.
